Georgian FM highlights Gov’t’s wise, cautious policy, people’s wisdom as only security guarantee for country

Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili on Monday emphasised the Government's wise and cautious policy as well as the wisdom of Georgian people as the only security guarantee that Georgia had today.

“It is quite difficult to talk about some guarantees today. The only guarantee that our country has for security today is the Government’s wise and cautious policy and, of course, the wisdom of our people. This is the greatest security guarantee that Georgia has today. Georgia is not a member of any military and political organisation that would cover its head with a security umbrella. We have often talked about this, Georgia’s foreign policy priority is membership in NATO and the European Union, although we also see clearly that today Georgia still does not have this hat after so many years”, the FM said.

“The only guarantee that Georgia has today, I am talking about a security guarantee, is the Government’s wisdom and the wisdom of the Georgian people and how decisions will be made in a way that minimises the threats that our country faces. There are quite a lot of such threats, neither the geographical nor the geopolitical situation is simple, and of course, it is very important to pursue a cautious, but sometimes courageous policy”, she concluded.
